SIGNORS OF ONE-HALF T0 EDWARD-W. WALSH AND ROBERT J. MCCORMICK, BOTH 0F BARNESBORO, PENNSYLVANIA BARBER-CHAIR APPLIANCE Application led June 21,

This invention relates to barber chair appliances, and has for its primary object an improvement in the sanitary methods oi cleaning razors, whereby a i'resh and clean sheet ot paper is easily provided by the barber, for each person shaved, thus eliminating any danger of infection that may arise from the use ci the razor which may carry disease germs from one person to another through the use of unsanitary methods of cleaning the razor during the process of shaving.

Another object of this invention is to provide a two compartment receptacle cabinet for holding the new and the used shaving paper, together with means for moving a clean sheet of paper into convenient position for the barber, when needed.

A iurtherobject of this invention is to provide a movable rotatable means for supporting the two compartment cabinet, on the barber chair, as well as convenient means for attaching and removing the appliance from the barberchair.

eistill 'further object of this invention is to provide easy and accessible means for removing the soiled paper from the cabinet, as well as improved means for placing new and sanitary paper rolls in the cabinet.

lith these and many other objects in view which will become more readily apparent as the nat-ure of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully pointed out, illustrated and claimed.

It will be quite readily understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention belongs, that the same is quite susceptible to various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, but a preferred and practical embodiment oi the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 sbo-ws a side elevation of a barber chair, having the present invention attached thereto.

Fig. 2 shows an elevational view of the barber chair attaching bracket, together with the means provided for swinging the 1928. Serial No. 287,086.

appliance out of the way when not required.

Fig. 3 shows asectional view of the vertical .stem housing illustrated in Fig. 2 and indicates the means .we have provided for readily raising and lowering the appliance.

Fig. fi shows in the plan and elevational views the means provided for supporting the compartment cabinet, as well as means for rotating the support on the vertical rod carried by the supporting bracket which is attached to the barber chair.

Fig. 5 is an inverted plan view of the two compartment cabinet which holds the new and soiled paper.

Figs. 6 and 7 are side and rear elevational views of the cabinet as shown inverted in Fig. 5 of the drawings.

Fig. 8 shows a sectional view taken through the cabinet near the longitudinal center line of Fig. 7, and clearly illustrates the construction thereof.

Similar i letters refer to similar parts throughout the several figures of the drawings. y i

In carrying out this invention, we make no change in the conventional type of barber chair designated in its entirety by the numeral 10, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings.

At the base of the seat 11, we attach, through the medium of a screw, or similar fastening means 12, an adjustable bracket 13, which is provided with a threaded. pei-fora* tion adapted to receive an adjusting screw 14, the end 15 of which impinges against the ledge 16 of the chair 10. The opposite end of the bracket 13 is `provided with an extension 17, turned at right angles to the body portion oi the bracket. i This extensionl is likewise provided with al perforation through which a screw 18 is adapted to pass and hold the bracket coactively engaged with an extension 19, positioned` ona sleeve 20, through which an adjustably supported rod 21 passes. The rod 21 is provided with a series of shallow teeth 22,.the recess or the trough 23 between the teeth, being engaged by a spring actuated plunger 24,1novably positioned in the sleeve 20. A resilient member 25 actuates the plunger and keeps the same inactive engagement with the teeth cut aportion of the compartment 33.

in the rod 21 as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

The rod 21 is further provided with an enlarged end 26, in which a cavity 27 is provided for the purpose of receiving a st-emy 28, to which a horizontal arm 29 is rotatably pivotf ed. The members 2l and 28 can easily be constructed as an integral piece to save in the manufacturing cost, but as illustrated somewhat more flexibility is provided. The arm 29 is rotatably mounted on the stem extension 28, through the medium of a bolt or screw 30 as clearly illustrated in the plan View oi: Fi 4 of the drawings.

The arm 29 is further provided with a stopledge 3l, adapted to coact with the surtace 32 on the vertical rod 2l when the arm 29 is raised vertically Jor'the purpose of rotating the shaving paper compartment cabinet designated in its entirety by ythe numeral 32 out of the way should the barber so desire.

Primarily the cabinet consists of two compartments, one of which is supported by the arm 29 and the other compartment hinged to the supported compartment. The compartment designated by the numeral 33 is supported by the arm 29 and is designated to receive the soiled or used paper together with the lather, and anyand all material carried by the lather as it is gathered on the razor which is adapted to be wiped onthe paper before it is rotated into the soiled paper compartment ofthe cabinet. rIhe compartment 33 is provided with a removable paper' cup 34 which gathers the lather that may escape from the paper as it is rolled on` the drum 35 adapted to receive the soiled paper. Consideration has been given a. lather wiper which removes the lather from the paper and more readily permits the same to be collected in the paper cup, rather than being rolled together with the paper on the drum 35, but this is not thought at this time to be a real. necessity. Adjacent and hingedly fixed to the soiled paper compartment, a compartment 36, which carries a paper roll of clean sanitary shaving paper, is shown in Figsu, 6 and 8.

The top or cover plate 39 of the compartment 36 is constructed such as to 'extend over This cover 39 is provided with a resilient pad, preferably made of telt, over which the paper is adapted to pass when the razor Vis cleansed thereon.

' For the purpose of keeping the two compartments in operative relation,- in addition to the hinge 41, there is provided a hook 42 or similar means pivoted on one of the compartment sheets and engaging a pin on the compartment sheet in the opposite compartment as shown .in Figs.` 6 and 8 ofV the drawings. V

Let us now assume that the cabinet is voi Lveasee of eitherV clean shaving paper or paper that has been soiled and it is desired to place the cabinet in readiness for use. The cabinet is opened as shown in the dotted lines and an empty spool is placed in cabinet compartment 33 while a spool having wound thereon, a fresh roll of sanitary shaving paper is placed in cabinet compartment 36. The fresh paper is` then drawn up'throughthe slo'td, and over the pad positioned' on the cover 39, thence down tothe spool in compartment 33. The cabinet is then closed, one compartment is positioned against the other and the two are locked together by the .means provided. The paper is then drawn taut and the device is ready for use.

We claim: y

e l. A sanitary paper holder. for barbers chairs including a receptacle having a hinged cover and an upper stationary cover, a second receptacle connected to said first receptacle and having one edge positioned beneath the stationary cover o' the first receptacle, a reel of paper mounted in the first named receptacle whereby paper from the reel may pass over the stationary cover, a cup removably mounted in said second receptacle,` and a waste paper take-up reel mounted in said cup.

A sanitary paper holder for barber-s chairs including a support, a receptacle mounted on said support, a fresh paper housing receptacle pivotally mounted on said first mentioned receptacle and having a hinged cover and a stationaryicover, the latter projecting over one edge of the lirst receptacle, a cup detachably mounted in said iirst mentioned receptacle, and means for feeding paper from the fresh paper housing receptacle over the stationary cover and into said cup.. v
